The different kinds of curves

By Tangotiger, 07:16 AM

Great stuff by Max.

If you look at the chart, you’ll see two different kinds of changeups, two different kinds of curves, and two kinds of sliders.  And fastballs are all over the place, as each behaves like something else, as it should since fastballs will range from 80 to 100 mph.

Max: you should sort your 1-14 classification so that it sorts by speed, and then total movement.
